Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods, and uses that involve the compounds for reducing the activity of a kinase and/or treating and/or preventing a condition associated with aberrant activity of a kinase (e.g., a proliferative disease, inflammatory disorder, autoimmune disorder, painful condition, and/or viral infection). (I) (II)

RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. provisional patent application, 61/983,175, filed Apr. 23, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Kinase inhibitors are rapidly becoming one of the most validated and pursued class of drug targets. Janus kinases (JAKs) comprise a family of 4 kinases that play multiple roles downstream of cytokine signalling in both immune and non-immune cells. Autoimmunity is driven by an aberrant adaptive immune response to self-antigens and JAK-STAT signalling is known to play a key role in this process. Thus JAK inhibitors have considerable potential for the development of drugs to treat autoimmunity. JAK3 is an especially attractive target as, unlike other JAKs, its expression is restricted to the immune system. Several pharmaceutical companies have considerable efforts underway to develop JAK3 inhibitors. While the FDA recently approved the JAK3 inhibitor Tofacitnib (XELJANZ®), which is actually a pan-JAK inhibitor, it was rejected by CHMP in Europe due to safety concerns. This highlights the fact that while pan-JAK inhibitors are effective in RA, they carry a range of adverse side effects, many of which may relate to the functions of JAKs outside the adaptive immune system. Therefore, development of selective small molecule inhibitors of JAK3 would potentially represent a promising class of novel therapeutics.

DEFINITIONS Chemical Definitions

Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75^(th) Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Organic Chemistry, Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5^(th) Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.

Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer, or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. “Racemic” refers to a compound in which the percent by weight of one enantiomer is equal to the percent by weight of the other enantiomer.

The terms “enantiomerically enriched,” “enantiomerically pure” and “non-racemic,” as used interchangeably herein, refer to a compound in which the percent by weight of one enantiomer is greater than the amount of that one enantiomer compared to a control mixture of the racemic composition (e.g., greater than 1:1 by weight). For example, an enantiomerically enriched enantiomer, means a compound having greater than 50% by weight of one enantiomer relative to the other enantiomer, e.g., at least 75% by weight, or at least 80% by weight. In some embodiments, the enrichment can be much greater than 80% by weight, providing a “substantially enantiomerically enriched,” “substantially enantiomerically pure” or a “substantially non-racemic” compound, which refers to a compound with at least 85% by weight of one enantiomer relative to other enantiomer, e.g., at least 90% by weight, or at least 95% by weight.

Enantiomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred enantiomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N Y, 1962); and Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind. 1972).

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms.

Optionally substituted refers to a group which may be substituted or unsubstituted (e.g., “substituted” or “unsubstituted” alkyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” alkenyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” alkynyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” heteroalkyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” heteroalkenyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” heteroalkynyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” carbocyclyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” heterocyclyl, “substituted” or “unsubstituted” aryl or “substituted” or “unsubstituted” heteroaryl group). In general, the term “substituted”, whether preceded by the term “optionally” or not, means that at least one hydrogen present on a group (e.g., a carbon or nitrogen atom) is replaced with a permissible substituent, e.g., a substituent which upon substitution results in a stable compound, e.g., a compound which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, or other reaction. Unless otherwise indicated, a “substituted” group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent is either the same or different at each position. The term “substituted” is contemplated to include substitution with all permissible substituents of organic compounds, any of the substituents described herein that results in the formation of a stable compound. The present invention contemplates any and all such combinations in order to arrive at a stable compound. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any suitable substituent as described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms and results in the formation of a stable moiety.

It understood that divalent moieties depicted herein are interpreted to be read left (“a”) to right (“b”), e.g., as provided below, and that the attachment of the divalent moiety into the reference Formula is also interpreted to be attached left to right:

OTHER DEFINITIONS

A “subject” to which administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g, infant, child, adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult or senior adult)) and/or other non-human animals, for example, mammals (e.g., primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys); commercially relevant mammals such as cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cats, and/or dogs), birds (e.g., commercially relevant birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, and/or turkeys), reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal. The non-human animal may be a male or female and at any stage of development. A non-human animal may be a transgenic animal.

A “condition,” “disease,” and “disorder” are used interchangeably herein.

The term “treat,” “treating” and “treatment” contemplate an action that occurs while a subject is suffering from the specified disease, disorder or condition, which reduces the severity of the disease, disorder or condition, or retards or slows the progression of the disease, disorder or condition (“therapeutic treatment”), and also contemplates an action that occurs before a subject begins to suffer from the specified disease, disorder or condition (“prophylactic treatment”).

In general, the “effective amount” of a compound refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound described herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, the mode of administration, and the age, health, and condition of the subject. An effective amount encompasses therapeutic and prophylactic treatment.

The term “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound refers to an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition, or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder or condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent. In certain embodiments, the condition is associated with aberrant activity of a kinase (e.g., JAK3). In certain embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to reduce the activity or expression of a kinase (e.g., JAK3) and/or inhibit cell proliferation.

A “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to prevent a disease, disorder or condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder or condition, or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the disease, disorder or condition. The term “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.

The term “inhibitor” refers to the ability of a compound to reduce (e.g., slow, halt) or prevent activity of a particular biological process (kinase activity) in a cell relative to vehicle.

Use of the phrase “at least one” instance refers to 1, 2, 3, 4, or more instances, but also encompasses a range, e.g., for example, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 3, from 1 to 2, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3, or from 3 to 4 instances, inclusive.

A “kinase” is a type of enzyme that transfers phosphate groups from high energy donor molecules, such as ATP, to specific substrates, referred to as phosphorylation. Kinases are part of the larger family of phosphotransferases. One of the largest groups of kinases are protein kinases, which act on and modify the activity of specific proteins. Kinases are used extensively to transmit signals and control complex processes in cells.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Previous efforts have led to the development of an ATP-site directed library of acrylamide modified kinase inhibitors that have the potential to form covalent bonds with cysteine residues situated in and around the ATP binding site. These libraries have been used successfully to develop covalent inhibitors of numerous kinases, including EGFR, BTK, BMX, JNK and FGFR. Current estimates suggest 180 kinases may represent attractive targets for the development of new therapeutics. To-date, there exist only 11 kinases that are targeted by FDA approved kinase inhibitors, suggesting that there exists considerable opportunity for new covalent inhibitor drugs. The advantage of covalent inhibitors from a therapeutic standpoint is the potential to achieve durable target suppression without the necessity of maintaining high continuous drug exposure. Given the potential advantages of these agents and the considerable interest in developing inhibitors of JAK3 in the pharmaceutical field, inhibitors possessing the ability to covalently modify JAK3 were developed. In addition to the covalent inhibitors, non-covalent analogs were also discovered (e.g., reduced acrylamide moiety) that could serve as complementary therapeutics that exhibit alternate modes of inhibition and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles.

Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents. In certain embodiments for parenteral administration, the conjugates are mixed with solubilizing agents such as Cremophor, alcohols, oils, modified oils, glycols, polysorbates, cyclodextrins, polymers, and combinations thereof.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the conjugates with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally comprise opacifying agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

The active ingredients can be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active ingredient can be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may comprise buffering agents. They may optionally comprise opacifying agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

Dosage forms for topical and/or transdermal administration of a compound described herein may include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants and/or patches. Generally, the active ingredient is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or any needed preservatives and/or buffers as can be required. Additionally, the present invention contemplates the use of transdermal patches, which often have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of an active ingredient to the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared, for example, by dissolving and/or dispensing the active ingredient in the proper medium. Alternatively or additionally, the rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane and/or by dispersing the active ingredient in a polymer matrix and/or gel.

Suitable devices for use in delivering intradermal pharmaceutical compositions described herein include short needle devices such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,886,499; 5,190,521; 5,328,483; 5,527,288; 4,270,537; 5,015,235; 5,141,496; and 5,417,662. Intradermal compositions can be administered by devices which limit the effective penetration length of a needle into the skin, such as those described in PCT publication WO 99/34850 and functional equivalents thereof.

Janus kinases (JAKs) play multiple roles downstream of cytokine signaling in both immune and non-immune cells. Autoimmunity is driven by an aberrant adaptive immune response to self-antigens and JAK-STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription) signaling is known to play a key role in this process. Thus, JAK inhibitors may have considerable potential for the development of drugs to treat autoimmunity. JAK3 is an especially attractive target as, unlike other JAKs, its expression is restricted to the immune system. Thus, in certain embodiments, the condition associated with aberrant activity of a kinase is an autoimmune disorder. Exemplary autoimmune disorders include, but are not limited to, arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthopathies, gouty arthritis, degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, undifferentiated spondylitis, Behcet's disease, haemolytic autoimmune anaemias, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, amylosis, acute painful shoulder, psoriatic, and juvenile arthritis), asthma, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, bronchitis, tendonitis, bursitis, skin condition (e.g., psoriasis, eczema, burns, dermatitis, pruritus (itch)), enuresis, eosinophilic disease, gastrointestinal disorder (e.g., selected from peptic ulcers, regional enteritis, diverticulitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic gastroenteritis, eosinophilic colitis), gastritis, diarrhea, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD, or its synonym GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, collagenous colitis, lymphocytic colitis, ischaemic colitis, diversion colitis, Behcet's syndrome, indeterminate colitis) and inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS)), and disorders ameliorated by a gastroprokinetic agent (e.g., ileus, postoperative ileus and ileus during sepsis; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD, or its synonym GERD); eosinophilic esophagitis, gastroparesis such as diabetic gastroparesis; food intolerances and food allergies and other functional bowel disorders, such as non-ulcerative dyspepsia (NUD) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP, including costo-chondritis)). In certain embodiments, the autoimmune disorder is rheumatoid arthritis. In certain embodiments, the autoimmune disorder is psoriasis.

In certain embodiments, the autoimmune disorder is associated with inflammation or a painful condition.

In some embodiments, a particular pain can dominate. In other embodiments, the painful condition comprises two or more types of pains without one dominating. A skilled clinician can determine the dosage to achieve a therapeutically effective amount for a particular subject based on the painful condition. In certain embodiments, the painful condition is inflammatory pain. In certain embodiments, the painful condition (e.g., inflammatory pain) is associated with an inflammatory disorder and/or an autoimmune disorder.

The results show that compounds of the present disclosure, such as compound 2, are highly selective inhibitors of JAK3. For example, compound 2 showed a high degree of specificity for JAK3 relative to other JAK isoforms (IC₅₀ for JAK1=896 nM, JAK2=1050 nM, JAK3=4.8 nM). The selectivity of compound 2 is further confirmed on Ba/F3 proliferation assays (IC₅₀ for JAK1=2959 nm, JAK2=3064 nM, JAK3=60 nM). Compound 2 has a high aqueous solubility (>250 μM at 25° C.), good metabolic stability in vitro when incubated with human liver microsomes (clearance Cl_(i)=<0.5 mL/min/g), and reasonable pharmacokinetics in mouse (intravenous dose at 1 mg/kg: clearance was low (Cl_(b)=20 ml/min/kg), V_(dss) was moderate (1.2 L/kg), and half-life was moderate (1.2 hours); PO dose at 10 mg/kg: C_(max)=294 ng/mL, T_(max)=2 hours, bioavailability=23%).

Profiling of compound 2 on primary immune cells has shown that it blocks IL-4 signaling (which is JAK3 dependent) but has no effect on signaling by cytokines that act via JAK2 or JAK1/Tyk2. Compound 2 also has shown strong anti-proliferative potency (EC₅₀=20 nM) on Natural Killer Cell Lymphoma (NKCL) cell line NKL which is IL-2 dependent (JAK3 is downstream to IL-2). Compound 2 doesn't shown anti-proliferative potency on Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia (AMKL) cell line CML, which was identified with activating mutation A572V of JAK3. JAK1/JAK3 heterodimer was reported to play imported roles in many cancer cells as in CMK, which was more likely to be dependent on both JAK1 and JAK3 kinase activities.

The results also show that compounds described herein have the ability to selectively inhibit the gatekeeper mutant (T790M) of EGFR. For example, compound 2 showed strong anti-proliferative potency on EGFR (T790M) dependent Ba/F3 (inhibition>90% at 200 nM).
